Set in Newcastle upon Tyne in the early 1990s, where football is lived, not just played, and where Newcastle United shapes the lives of its people, this book explores the emotional and cultural power of belonging.
Through memories, reflections, history, and personal experiences, Why Newcastle? Why... Newcastle United? becomes more than a football story. It is a story about passion, identity, struggle, human connection, and the search for meaning through something bigger than ourselves.
Resonating far beyond Newcastle — from England to Europe and Japan — this is a deeply personal and atmospheric journey for football lovers, outsiders, dreamers, and anyone who has ever searched for meaning, belonging, or a place to call home.
